Why A Blog? Sort of An Intro

I have too many words, thoughts, ideas in my head and my ears are started to ooze them out upon the ground like sap from a maple tree during the Spring thaw. There they coalesce into all sorts of shapes and I keep stepping on them and stumbling over them. However, it seems a waste for them to return to the ethers without someone else having the benefit of seeing them. You never know, they might actually help even just one other individual on the planet other than myself. And that could be a good thing.

So who am I. I really haven't figured that out yet, and it's a possibility I never will. I was born in 1961, so that makes me middle-aged (or then-some) and have traveled a long journey, a spiritual path, if you will since 1993. And by spiritual, I simply mean one in which I have explored my relationship to the Universe around me. It's one that many people on the planet are currently exploring as well.

So in 1993 a huge shift occurred in my Being. I realize I was an asshole and also realized that people didn't like being on the butt-end of an asshole's ire. Now most people never come to the realization that they're an asshole, so this was quite an astonishing revelation to say the least. Most people are quite narcissistic and have little understanding of how their words and actions effect the lives of those around them and the world around them. So in 1993, I had this realization and I decided to start treating people with more respect, even reverence, and started to accept them as they were. More about this in future blogs.

Now when I say that most people are narcissistic, I am not putting people down. We live in a dysfunctional society, and it's always been like this. Narcissism is just a way of surviving in a world that sees you as nothing more than an object to be used and disposed of. So you need to look out for yourself and this requires a certain level of self-centeredness. Unfortunately, we've made narcissism into an art form and the results of our creative output is the carnage of society and the world. More about this in future blogs also.

So I'll end today's blog by saying that I'm going to explore how I view the world, lessons I've learn along my spiritual path, how we can go about exploring how we view the world, how we can begin to examine if the way we view the world represents Reality or reality, the second of which is simply how we see the world through our perceptual filters, though I'm not sure we can ever see the "R' Reality, and whatever the hell else I want to put in here. Will I write every day? Not sure. But hopefully there won't be long gaps between my personal ramblings. See lots of words tumbling to the ground.

Have a good day. And lots of love to you. And oh yeah, I miss you already.
